As a clarification, the real time line is like 400 million years ago or so

nexguy@lemmy.world · 44 pts · 94d (3 replies)

Put a pin in that and we'll circle back to it.

Hang on, I’ll run it up the flag pole

I'll run you up my flagpole 😏

Yeah, some asshole fish climbed out of the ocean 35 million years ago and now we have time as a concept.

What does that have to do with the nineteen ninety-eight Hell in a Cell match?

Oh no, I’m glad they did. You see, I've had issues with my bladder recently too. I believed it was an infection, but if his doctor says it was just some irritation, maybe so it is for me too. I just wish I knew what medicine he got prescribed. I guess I’ll have to hope it clears up on its own.

It's important, it puts the first patr in context.

Don't blame the land fish. If it had stayed underwater we'd just be having meetings there.

RamenJunkie@midwest.social · 13 pts · 94d

That's why they call a group of fish a school.

MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz · 15 pts · 94d

In a parallel universe: staff meetings, but underwater.

Meanwhile, whales.

Thanks to *her

Some of the fish were smart enough to get back into the water. We weren't. It's on us.

Rozauhtuno@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 93d

Whales and dolphins at least managed to save themselves.

Covid proved this often superfluous content can either be in an email or consumed from home on Teams, with a peppy chat sidebar.

There’s a new manager who keeps trying to make them in person. She was angry only 4 people out of 40 showed up to the last one.

Lady, I’m not here to validate your power point creation. That, and I can watch your little slide show at home, in yoga pants, with hot tea, while watching deer out my window.

As the British so aptly put it: sod off.

Scrogu@lemmy.zip · 5 pts · 93d

350 million would be closer.

SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 93d (3 replies)

Nah, the fish crawled out of the ocean just to escape some bullshit meeting with the other fish.

heartSagan5@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 93d (1 reply)

It was the same with the trees. There’s no escaping.

SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 93d

It's why we put so much money into space travel. You can do pretty much everything you need to do with robots, but that's not the point. The point is to get out of bullshit meetings.

"Houston is on comms and wants to discuss the status of the mission". Fuck it, let's fly this thing into the nearest black hole.

Can we just go back in time and evolve into a crab instead

*forward in time

Just be patient. It's inevitable.

MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca · 2 pts · 94d (2 replies)

Admittedly, we are now significantly less likely to be dismembered by much larger fish.

Simulation6@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 93d (1 reply)

Or 8 foot sea scorpions.

Inucune@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 92d

Or, in the case of whales, drown and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

LodeMike@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 87d (1 reply)

Dinosaurs existed like 700M YBP right?

KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 87d

Nope. The first land vertebrate evolved about 340MYA. 700MYA was a whole lot of nothing. The first plants and fungi to colonize land evolved about 440MYA. Before then, the earth probably looked a lot like Mars. It wasn't until mosses and lichen came along that we even got dirt instead of sand/gravel. Dinosaurs didnt really show up until 250MYA

Yeah yeah. If only some asshole mud puddle hadn't decided to come alive we'd all have been spared so much trouble. 🙄
